Organize
your Kitchen & Kitchen Space
The Kitchen is as much an
important part of the home as any other room. No matter how big or small
it may be it makes sense to spend a little time in organizing the kitchen
space. After all, a well planned and organised kitchen can save a lot of
time and make life simpler while cooking.
If you have a compact
kitchen, it is best to plan out what goes where so that space is not
wasted. Whether you are in the process of building a new kitchen or in the
mood to totally reorganize your kitchen space, these tips will be handy -

-
Kitchen Cabinets - Invest in a medium to
large sized cabinet that will provide enough storage space for your
utensils, cutlery etc. If you prefer tailor made kitchen cabinets, drawers
etc that meet your specific requirements, bring in professionals who can
deliver custom made cabinets just for you. Cabinets can be set up at the
base level or at an elevation by fitting them on walls. Easy access is a
must for each member of the family so pay attention to the ideal spacing
of kitchen cabinets. Remember, the secret to a functional kitchen
is proper planning and using space saving techniques.

-
Drawers & Shelves - While planning your kitchen space, make
sure you keep enough room for spacious drawers and shelves which can be
used for storing cutlery, extra reserves of cereal, pulses etc. Invest in
a wall shelf with pegs that can be attached to the wall. Use this to hang
aprons, tongs, oven gloves etc.
-
Decide what goes where - Place your utensils, glassware, and
plastic items separately. Kitchen gadgets like microwave / oven,
dishwasher and fridge etc need enough space. Plan out their placement
keeping in mind ease of use and access. It is always a good idea to use
one of the drawers for storing table mats, napkins and extra tissues etc
making it easy to locate them when in a hurry.
-
Labeling Items – While storing items such as pulses, spices,
cereals, etc in the kitchen, it is good practice to label their containers
so that each item can be easily located. This is a great idea, especially
when there are a lot of members in a family. Moreover, shelves and drawers
can also carry labels such as ‘Cutlery’, ‘Reserves’ etc so that every
member of the family knows what is where.
-
Maintaining Cleanliness – Good hygiene is a pre requisite for
healthy cooking and this is why it is very important to maintain
cleanliness in your kitchen space. After cooking each meal, clean the
kitchen surfaces, the stove and the sink area etc with a clean wipe. The
kitchen dusters, mops and wipers should be washed and dried properly after
use. The fridge and other appliances should be kept clean as well.
Remember: Your
kitchen windows should be void of heavy drapes. Keep away other fabrics
from your kitchen. A little bit of forward
thinking and care can help you to maintain a clean and inviting kitchen.
Get ready to cook in style!
